Resistance - and liberation

After the drawing class - as it was a sunny day (at last!) - I wandered round a few shops in Covent Garden, and was tempted by this summery number -

and resisted, only to be tempted by these books at Stanfords, the map shop -

... but resisted, thereby "liberating" nearly £100 all told. The theory of "liberated money" is that you have it in a hypothetical, or virtual, account that can at some time in the future be used to justify, rationalise, or make possible a truly compelling (and probably extravagant and irrational, but compulsively irresistible) purchase.

Tuesday is Drawing Day - why not join in, wherever you are? Find somewhere that has interesting things - it needn't be a museum, it could be your own home! - and just draw, using whatever media you want. Ask some friends to join you, then have a nice lunch.

The London group has grown to the point where it's getting difficult to find a cafe table large enough, and reluctantly I must say that it is no longer open to new members.

8 August - Docklands, either the architecture or the covered garden or the museum. Meet in the museum cafe for lunch.
